That's Disney. They have the scrims up on the facades on Main Street for months for refurbs on those facades that in reality only should last a week or two.

It's nice that they make the effort to have painted scrims though!

As an energy nut, I'm super glad they're changing their exterior bulbs to LED's. Less energy, less fossil fuels, and less cost for the park. Win/win/win!

Last time I was in there for ice cream...I was in and out...

What specifically changed on the interior?

Haven't been in there yet, so I can't say for sure.

From the picture, it looks like mostly new paint and replacement of older materials in guest areas. Like I said before it was probably closed for so long to take out the old equipment for replacement. There is a new item: gourmet hot cocoa so that probably needed new equipment installed as well.
